Post-Juma protests

It is pretty standard practice in Muslim political scene- organize a protest right after Juma prayers to ensure maximum participation. I always believed that's a lazy way of protesting because then organizers are not putting in effort organizing rather taking advantage of gathered crowd to rally them to their cause. And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah , and remember Allah often that you may succeed. [Surah Jumah: 10 Sahih International translation The verse from Surah Juma makes it clear that after the Juma prayer a Muslim may do only one things - go back to work to seek bounty of Allah. There is no option of doing protest.
